I remember after my first planned-home-birth ended in an augmented hospital birth, I regretted nothing. I think it's not so much about how much medicine is used or not, but rather about how much autonomy I had and that I was proud of the choices I made for my child. Sounds like you got that, too!

Your honesty about not loving being a mom, but being in love with your girl is refreshing. It takes time to bond and the fact you love her means you will continue to do the hard work of mothering. Just like when you love your spouse enough to put up with all the stupid things he occasionally says/does because it's worth it.<br /><br />You are in the most difficult part now. The physically sore, mentally exhausted, can't get enough sleep part. Just keep hanging in because you love your little girl. This too shall pass and things just get better and better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828875566554489349.post-63088281262967764162013-03-04T10:23:06.363-08:002013-03-04T10:23:06.363-08:00Congratulations honey :)Congratulations honey :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880106055269169399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828875566554489349.post-67025582848754899922013-03-04T10:11:33.449-08:002013-03-04T10:11:33.449-08:00So glad you and baby made it through safely!

A friend of mine had the same notion of a natural home birth, but when the time came, she got her husband to drive her to the hospital and she yelled at the door for the drugs and keep 'em coming. However, she did have a home birth with her second child. It all went by the book. Me, I wasn't that brave. After my attempt with the first baby at vaginal birth and 4 hours of labor that ended in c-section, with my second I didn't even want to try. I signed up for a c-section so fast the ink couldn't dry. Well, got yelled in the OR by the anesthesiologist but who cares. Though second time doing c-section, my body didn't forgive me that easily. <br />Your little girl is a real beauty, I hope you're enjoying every second with her.
